Saint Andrew School began operations in 1922, six full years before the dedication of our parish church in 1928. Consistently throughout the ensuing decades, we have demonstrated our commitment to the faith formation of our children and to the academic excellence of our school. We continue to be ever grateful for the financial sacrifices of generations past and present, for the unwavering support of our parish priests, and the dedication of the exceptional Sisters of St. Joseph. Building on the strength of our proud past, we look forward with purpose and resolve to continue this commitment to excellence.
Saint Andrew School is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. No child will be denied admission on the basis of color, race, or ethnic origin. Please refer to the Admissions Tab for age requirements and other essential records, documents, certificates, and fees.
